Kerese, T. (2010). Winner places in a loser county. Growing settlements in Somogy where the population decrease has been massive for half a century. Modern Geográfia, 5(1), 53–67.

Somogy is the fourth largest but the most sparsely populated county of Hungary, where the density of population is still half of the national average. The western third of the South-Transdanubian region between Lake Balaton and the River Drava has always been an underdeveloped part of Hungary with a sparse spatial structure. Capitalist modernisation and socialist development were not able to make significant changes. After the change of regime, Somogy is the only loser area in Transdanubien by Faragó (1999).
